What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Farnham Maltings is a cherished community hub, praised for its vibrant markets, engaging events like the Unravel Festival, and its lovely art gallery and gardens. Visitors appreciate the well-maintained facilities and the welcoming atmosphere, though some note that the theatre can get warm during performances in hot weather.
"We went to the Market there today which is the first Saturday of each month. There were some nice stalls selling beautiful handmade knitwear, handmade jewellery, chocolates, soap lots or lovely stuff and will be probably be a good one to go back to at the beginning of December. The cafe is nice with a short but good food menu. There is ample seating in the cafe area too. Beware of the car park which is actually paid parking on a Saturday. Entrance fee for the market was £1 and under 15s are free. Dogs seem to be welcome here too."

"Attended a matinee performance of Annie. The venue seems to be run pretty well, but it could do with some way to keep the theatre cool on warm days. They tried their best with fans but that was not really adequate and took away from the enjoyment of the hard work gone in to putting on a very good show"
